Guidelines for Wiki Entries (characters, places, names etc.)

• Follow the formatting of the sample article for the cow Audhumla.
• You have to provide your references; web references alone are NOT acceptable.
• When using sources and references, rephrase in your own words. Exact quotes have to be indicated by quotation marks.
• You may not simply cut and paste from an existing webpage; if doing so, you commit plagiarism. 
• Your references have to follow MLA style, but instead of underlining, use italics.
• All information has to come from a reliable source. 
• Make use of the primary sources (Prose Edda, Saga of the Völsungs). You should provide at least one representative and appropriate quote from a primary source.
• Add appropriate pictures if available. You have to provide the source of the picture.
• Make sure your entries are accurate. You have to verify your information.

 

• All wiki entries will be evaluated according to these guidelines by the instructor and the students.
